Halloween: Resurrection (2002) |
"The movie is like a year late for tapping into our reality tv obsession, and even tardier for exploiting the novelty of the "webcast."" |

Tomato A- |
Hannibal (2001) |
"I felt that the film had earned its right to be brutal" |
Eugene Novikov |
Splat C- |
Hannibal Rising (2007) |
"Hannibal Rising has put Hannibal Lecter in a basic revenge plot that doesn't need a Hannibal Lecter. In the process, it explains away one of cinema's legendary enigmas." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B |
Happy Endings (2005) |
"Genuinely clever and very funny, and all the joking around serves to distract from what is actually an uneven, often absurd series of storylines." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B+ |
Happy Feet (2006) |
"A family film that has taken to heart the treacly message of countless other family films: it dares to be different." |

Tomato B+ |
Hard Candy (2005) |
"Doesn't let itself be pinned down as being about something, but a movie this skilled at getting under my skin doesn't need a purpose." |
Eugene Novikov |
Splat C+ |
The Hard Word (2003) |
"Your brain may wander off elsewhere before the movie has a chance to get rolling." |
Eugene Novikov |
Splat C+ |
Hardball (2001) |
"It could have been an extraordinary story in a familiar framework; instead, it's a conventional story with a few extraordinary moments." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B |
Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008) |
"No less eager than its predecessor to use pointed political incorrectness to poke fun at our prejudices." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B |
Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (2004) |
"Has the coarse exterior of a typical 'stoner classic,' but also a prominent undercurrent that is sweet, clever, and even a little thoughtful." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato A- |
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) |
"It's good, genuinely good, not just as a cultural sensation but as a movie all its own." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B |
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) |
"Dark and daring; the novel takes a shockingly violent turn in its final pages, and the PG-13 rated film doesn't shy away." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato A |
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) |
"A great film -- not just a fun treat or a solid adaptation, but a wonderful movie." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato A- |
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) |
"It's a good sign that Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone feels rushed at two-and-a-half hours. I would easily have sat twice as long." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B- |
Hart's War (2002) |
"A noble project, a prison camp movie jam-packed with plot, intrigue and good actors." |
Eugene Novikov |
Splat C |
The Haunted Mansion (2003) |
"I am told that Eddie Murphy was once cool, but at this point I don't know if I believe it." |

Tomato B- |
The Haunting in Connecticut (2009) |
"Far more intriguing than your average PG-13 genre entry." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B |
Havana Nights (2004) |
"The movie made me smile. The stars have genuine charm, and the script is smarter about their relationship than one might expect." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B+ |
He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not (2003) |
"An unexpectedly taut psychological thriller" |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B |
Head in the Clouds (2004) |
"It is considerably more interesting when it is exploring the seeming contradiction between Gilda's loyalty and her hedonistic tendencies." |
Eugene Novikov |
Splat C- |
Head of State (2003) |
"Irritating where it should be insightful and cheap where it should be incisive." |
Eugene Novikov |
Splat C- |
Head Over Heels (2001) |
"The screenwriters' desperation is palpable at times." |
Eugene Novikov |
Splat C |
The Heartbreak Kid (2007) |
"Presents a hollow shell of the Farrelly Brothers I know." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B- |
Heartbreakers (2001) |
"Entertaining almost despite itself." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B+ |
Hearts in Atlantis (2001) |
"A wonderful, nostalgic piece." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B |
Heist (2001) |
"Heist falls short of brilliance, but like House of Games, Mamet's directorial debut, its effortless slight-of-hand is satisfying." |
Eugene Novikov |
Splat C |
Hellboy (2004) |
"Seems to be a blend of X-Men and The Mummy, but even The Mummy has a more coherent mythology." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B- |
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) |
"I wanted to like the movie more; there's plenty here for a cinephile to dig. But ultimately it's underwhelming -- and, with the exception of a couple uncanny images, forgettable." |
Eugene Novikov |
Splat D- |
Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005) |
"A rotten, stupid film, without a hint of cleverness or imagination." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato A- |
Hero (2004) |
"Though the film begins as cheesily entertaining mytho-historical claptrap, it quickly becomes a uniquely compelling mystery that builds suspense in both the past and present." |
Eugene Novikov |
Splat C |
Hidalgo (2004) |
"If there's one thing I learned from Hidalgo, it's that Americans are better than Arabs." |
Eugene Novikov |
Splat C |
Hide and Seek (2005) |
"The movie turns out to be such an idiotic, bald-faced cheat that the skillful build-up almost makes it worse." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B |
High Crimes (2002) |
"It's more than a retread of an ancient formula; it's an execution of it with flair and gusto.
" |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B- |
High Fidelity (2000) |
"Cynical and amusing." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B+ |
The Hills Have Eyes (2006) |
"A good film, mostly but not entirely in the current horror mold, suspenseful and skillfully made." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato A |
A History of Violence (2005) |
"A masterful symphony of contradiction." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B |
Hitch (2005) |
"Will Smith is a remarkable talent, his reactive comic timing a thing of beauty." |
Eugene Novikov |
Splat C |
The Hitcher (2007) |
"Though far from a thoughtless dead zone, The Hitcher is too limp and complacent a horror flick to capitalize on its promise, or on its source material." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B |
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) |
"Enthusiastic, respectful, amusing and fun." |
Eugene Novikov |
Splat C |
The Hoax (2007) |
"Deeply problematic in large part because of Hallstr%uFFFDm's monomaniacal determination to turn Clifford Irving's story into a lively romp." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato A- |
Holes (2003) |
"Smart, funny, cynical and genuinely touching." |

Tomato B |
Hollywood Ending (2002) |
"His films remain entertainment akin to watching a stand-up act: disposable stories, great sense of humor, one-liners that I quote incessantly for months." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B+ |
Hollywood Homicide (2003) |
"The advertising suggests something primitive and formulaic, but Hollywood Homicide is sneaky, strange and sometimes brilliant." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B |
Hollywoodland (2006) |
"Biopics are boring, but this sort of rampant dramatization is fun." |
Eugene Novikov |
Splat C |
Holy Man (1998) |
"It's always watchable, sometimes enjoyable, never special." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B- |
A Home at the End of the World (2004) |
"An unconvincing lead performance from Colin Farrell robs the film of an emotional anchor, but there is nonetheless plenty here to admire." |
